East? In voting out the President's Middle East resolution (see below), a Senate committee, echoing the President and the House of Representatives, replied: If the victim calls for help, the U.S. will fight.

...most serious of all diving accidents: air embolism." Apart from the danger of a lung bursting, the abnormal pressure can force air bubbles through the pulmonary veins and into the heart. The bubbles usually travel to the brain, causing convulsions and unconsciousness, and unless the victim is treated promptly by recompression, he is almost certain to die. The greatest danger of air embolism is in emergency ascents-perhaps after the scuba has gone out of kilter at great depth.

It is no use, he says, to impose such a strict diet that the victim feels forever hungry and deprived, or to prescribe special face lotions plus shampoos for the unproved relationship between dandruff and acne. Some cases can be cured, says Dr. MacKenna, by moderate restriction of sugars and starches, elimination of chocolate and cocoa in any form, from the diet, and nightly application of a paste containing 6% sulphur, 6% resorcin...
